Abstract excerpt
Rhomboids are membrane-embedded serine proteases that cleave membrane protein substrates. Escherichia coli rhomboid GlpG (ecGlpG) consists of an N-terminal cytoplasmic domain and a membrane domain containing the active site. We determined the crystal structure of the soluble cytoplasmic domain of ecGlpG at 1.35Å resolution and examined whether this domain affected the catalytic activity of the enzyme. The...
